Reaction of methyl acrylate with titanium tetrachloride during the condensation of the vapors on a cold surface

Complex formation between methyl acrylate and titanium tetrachloride during the condensation of the vapors of the reactants on a copper surface cooled to liquid-nitrogen temperature has been studied by IR spectroscopy. It has been established that the mole fraction of reactants entering into reaction depends on the rate of deposition and has an extremal nature. A formal kinetic model is proposed which represents the relationship obtained in the study between the substances participating in complex formation and the rate of condensation of the mixture.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 22.
